It also allows the lamps to he set horizontally for country driving with the necessity of simply-moving; them to the desired position as determined by a fixed stop no tightening of nuts being required. The tapered base of the pin and the tapered nut wedge the lamp tightly upon the pin or the usual straight pin on the bracket and set screw on the lamp may be employed, as shown in Fig. 5.

Other modes of applying the principle of my invention may be employed instead of the one explained, change being made r?- gards the mechanism herein disclosed, provided the means stated by any of the following claims or the equivalent such stated means be employed.

I therefore particularly point out and dis tinctly claim as my invention 1. In a vehicle lamp support, the combination of anarm provided at one end with a concshaped recess; a second arm adapted to support a lamp and provided with a com plcm'cnta ry projection adapted to fit within such recess; means for clamping said two arms together; fixed stop means on said arms adapted to limit angular movement of the same to prevent the lamp from being tilted above the horizontal; and. adjustable stop means adapted to limit the angular movement of'said arms in the other direction.

2. In an auxiliary lamp-bracket the combination of an arm provided at one end with. means adapted to secure the same to a lamp-bracket pin said arm being provided at the other end with a cone-shaped recess: a second arm adapted to support a lamp and provided with a coniplemcntary projection adapted to fit within such recess; means for clamping said two arms together; fixed stop means adapted to positively-limit the angular movement between said arms in one direction; and adjustable stop means adapted to similarly limit such movement in the opposite direction.

In an auxiliary lamp-bracket the C011): bination of an arm-provided at one end with a clamping member adapted to secure the same about a lamp bracket pin, said arm being provided at the other end with a coneshaped recess and having; an opening through said arm from the apex of s eh re ccss; a second armadapted to he received. in the aperture in the ear of a lamp, said second arm being adapted to support a lamp and provided with a conical pro ection adapted to -fit within such recess and hav ing an opening through said arm and said projection, such opening being alined with such opening in said first-named arm;

clamping bolt passing through such openings in said arms and adapt-ed to hold said arms firmly tog-ether; means adapted to prevent rotation of said bolt with respect to said second arm; and fixed stop means adapted to positively limit theangularmovement between said arms in one direction; and adjustable stop'mcans adapted to similarly limit such movement in the opposite direction.

4-. In an auxiliary lamp-bracket, the combination of an arm provided at one end with a clamping member adapted to he clamped about a lamp bracket pin, said arm being provided at the other end with a conical shaped recess and having an opening through said arm from the apex of such recess: a second arm adapted to be received in the aperture in the ear of a lamp, said second arm being adapted to support a lamp and provided with a. conical projection said arm with respect to said belt; a tug on.

on said said first-named arm; a second in second arm, said two lugs being adapted to contact upon movement of one arm relative to the other and thereby positively limit igzhe angular movement between saidarms in one direction; and a set screw mounted in said second arm and adapted to contact with the lug on said first arm to ad'jnstahly lines movement between said arms in the opposite direction.

5. ii lamp-bracket comprising area provided with a cone-shaped recess and haring: an opening through said arm from apex of such recess; a second arm adapted to be received in the aperture in the ear lamp. said second arm being adapted to.
